The seasons are changing, has the harsh winter months left your home without protection?

This winter was particularly bad for everyone.  The harsh winds, freezing temperatures, snow accumulations, and heavy ice may not have just left you tired out.  Extreme winter elements can do significant damage to your home, and what’s worse is you may not even know it.  Inspecting your roof and general maintenance should be done seasonally, if you missed checking your roof in the fall, before the harsh winter weather, your roof may be calling you.  In order to maintain your roof effectively, inspection is necessary on both the exterior and interior.  

How do you know what to look for?  

• EXTERIOR:
• Loose shingles: Shingles that have fallen off or have slipped position.
• Flashing: May have holes or be warped allowing water to penetrate your roof.

• INTERIOR:
• Clear vents of any obstructions allowing moisture to escape.
• Check attic insulation for moisture
• Check drywall from baseboards to ceiling for moisture or discoloration.

 

Maneuvering on top of your roof could be risky business, and is not recommended for everyone.  Call a professional to come out and inspect your roof, they will have all the knowledge and skills and know where to check and what to look for.  William Penn Roofing specializes in roofing repairs will inspect your roof for free!
